Co-existence

Yeah, it's been a while.... My life keeps changing mostly for the good. But, today was a challenge.
How do you handle having an exciting day while your wife is having a shitty day?

Seems like my excitement just drains the life out of her. I, then, take it personally, which I have yet to grow thicker skin. She in turn states that it then all becomes about "me". She says I don't listen, yet I feel like I do.

I do the wrong thing, when she says I just don't get it, and leave the room. We love each other, yet I can't seem to communicate properly. What is it that I don't understand? What can I do that is right and not always "wrong"? Why do I get soooo frustrated?

I absolutely hate confrontation. Yet, hear I am pissing off the one person who's opinion means the world to me.

Ok...there are just too many "I's" in this post. How do I make this "not" about me, you selfish bastard!
